thanks Somebodyelse for clarifying the position of MT in this unrest, and I am
sure for now, let us resist the urge. When everything is done and settled we can
think over and argue again which scans are of artistic value and so on. So bear
in mind, let the middle-people handle their job first and then we can dig in
freely.
Ok, I thought I'd toss some thoughts in here. Before I even get started, these
are my opinions, and do not necessarily
(well, ok, they probably don't) reflect that of MT or its staff. There, that was
my disclaimer
I already made a pretty long post here
so I won't repeat it all, but basically it's about advertising money- Google
hosts MT's advertising, so Google holds the "purse-strings", so to
speak. Trying to find another ad hoster or take donations would get problematic
really fast, as I said in my post. Basically, we're complying with Google's
rules because we live under their "roof," in an economic
sense.
Now, that being said, I'm sort of in the middle of all this. I have italics on
my name, so I'm basically expected to help out Sheqel and the mods. But, I'm
also in the ecchi club. I had to report one of my own scans to not feel like a
hypocrite reporting anybody else's. (At least I didn't cut up my Cherrysoft
artbook already.)
The bottom line is, this is going to hit hard. But I have put a few notes in the
Mod Forum thread dealing with this, and I've made a few pointed suggestions:
first- that they stick with the quarantine system instead of immediately
deleting things outright, second- that after we've complied with the purge to
Google's satisfaction, that the quarantined items be swept to see if any items
that aren't too revealing and have some artistic value should be restored,
third-and most important- that firm guidelines be set about what is considered
"family safe" and what isn't. The problem right now is that people are
reporting what they feel to be over the line of being suggestive or unartistic,
and everyone draws that "line" at a different place, after all, we're
only human. Hence, my suggestion of a sweep of the quarantined stuff after the
dust settles.
Of course, the admin can easily ignore me; after all, I'm basically just a
member with a few extra powers. But I wanted everyone here to know you're not
forgotten about.
My thing is basically if your submissions get deleted, get a clear, calm
argument ready as to why it shows sufficient artistic value to be re-submitted,
and keep that argument ready to submit it after the dust settles a little bit. The mods don't have time right
now to deal with scores of people asking why "my" items got deleted,
because compliance is top priority at the moment. And whatever you do, don't
bash on the mods or send them hatemail or such; this wasn't their idea and they
don't deserve any abuse over it.
I hope that answers some questions. If you have more questions/ideas, by all
means, shout at my guestbook! floats away trying to catch his breath...
oh well...whatever reasons, I am having a great time at my forums posting ecchi
so do join us too. www.sumpffuchs.com/forums
and well, I cannot join too many but Miroku-sama's forums is great. I must
revoke some others lol...too many....clubbleach...bleachportal....MT....(...)
many
Its really bad what happend with the club, first MT rules were very strict and
now this thing. I think that this comunuty is going to decrease if things keeps
like this.
well lets think like this...MT is a community for art..not ecchi
the fact that the ecchi club is the largest group from all the others..is like
MT is overwhem by ecchi..fans
(but one things..things in this word are based on atraction..)
messages like:
`i come on MT just for ecchi..`..are really strange comeing from members of our
group
we are not a group of perverts..that can`t retain ourselfs..
so MT dos not tolerate this..from what it can be seen
i don`t really tink that google (that is huge) is messing around with a
club..
and i have to say that the pics and all from the content war ONLY ECCHI NOTIHING
MORE..NO HENTAI..
i respect the work of the moderators of MT and of Sheqel..
but i think that the club needs anothe chance.. to demonstrate that we are art
lovers..
Can someone please explain to me when google become a complete global mod of the
internet with the power to just decide the fate of any web page it feels
like?
Did any other groups get hit by Google's mighty crusade of righteousness?
Hey i have a gallery at my forum. We can post anything there. ^__^ It would be
in a thread like maner(I only have a free site). So it would be like 4-chan.
i dont ge tit..i was very careful wit what was in the content of the ecchi
club
and the pics war only ecchi..(NO HENTAi) WHY
THIS?
as Miroku4444 hoe can google enforced MT to do this..i for one don`t get it
if not we will restore the ecchi club..without pics that are ecchi ..
HUh?
this is what the hell?
why is that potential mature content?
i mean does that mean the entire ecchi part of MT is potential mature
content?
I wanna design the new group page!
this time I will make it normal...but not until we can wait for Sheq's
explanation, I made a complaint in the complaints thread.
How can google force MT to do anything. I guess its about the advertising? The
pics are all here, but the banner and stuff is gone. WTF? How does google know
whats in here anyway? I wish the mods would explain the situation.
I don't know when....probably soon...
I'm gonna show some ecchi pics I got....
It's kinda late over here....so, uh....
I'll show everyone what I find....
Later.
This 5 quota is annoying. The least they could do is up it to 10 or 15. I'd be
fine with that. The credit system is funky and I still don't understand how it
works. You're right, if they went back to strictly credits (like it was when I
joined), I'd be one to leave as will many others.
Hello people I know that Ihaven't been around lately cause I've been really busy
anyway I hope I'll manage to provide you with ecchi scans again soon!
oh and happy valentine's day!
